enjoy your american holiday

I like watching the News and seeing all the people trample each other trying to save 5 bucks...

so thanksgiven is just all abot spending money

Well, usually we wait until the day after Thanksgiving to maim others in the name of saving a buck or two.

I got all the holiday ads in the paper today and decided that no deal was good enough to make me get out in all the madness tomorrow.

For most people it seems that way... Thanksgiving is just a big meal to give you energy to survive the rush of Black Friday Shopping...

Oh and don't forget the 2 Football Games that seems to be a must for a lot of people...

I always thougth it was for families to get to together to eat a Turkey, well that's what I have seen in the movies..........LOL

In australia there is only one useless holiday & that's Melbourne Cub day. Would you beleive it's for a Horse race.

well only the state of victoria gets a holiday, But the whole nation stops work just to watch this 2min race.

Nah they are just jaded. It's a day to gather with family and hope no one says something stupid, and you dress in nicer clothes than you would normally wear and eat too much food.

And the guys watch football, that's true.

The people actually pushed down the doors! Come on it's just a few bucks.

my god, 2 thousand people standing out side to save $10 or $20, you have to be kidding.

Nope, no kidding here in the states when it comes to Black Friday... lol

Told you, the Thanksgiving Dinner is just to give you energy to trample others... The same thing happened here in Baltimore a couple years ago... The old man opening the door was trampled to death the moment he unlocked it... Six people were arrested...


Some crazy ass people in this country... Yet so many people want to come here and risk their life to get here even if it is illegally... I can't understand it...
I guess it is the old saying, "If I lived in roman times I would live in Rome"... So many people consider the USA to be the Modern Roman Empire, even John Lennon called New York the Modern day Rome...


I've gone out on the Black Friday thing before... It really isn't worth the Frustration and Headache... But everyone thinks they are getting deals... Compared to regular prices I guess they are in a way... But I look at it this way, if I can't afford it then I don't need it...
